Quoting David Mann <dmann...@gmail.com>:
We rarely get thunderstorms here but when I noticed clouds moving in
from the northeast with more clouds moving in from the southwest at
the same time, I knew we were in for a bit of a show.
I stood out at the footpath watching the fireworks and eventually
thought I should try to take a few pics...

K10D, 16-45mm (at 16mm).
I didn't get very long before my battery started to run low but I'd
had enough by then and the storm was heading north. I ended up
shooting at f/22 for 15 seconds. The wait during the dark-frame
subtraction was agonising, especially the times when I just missed
spectacular flashes.
Spectacular shots.
I'm fairly sure that dark frame subtraction can be turned off in the
K10Ds Custom menu - at least it can with my K200D which uses the same
sensor.
I think it's the K20D (and K-7?) with its Samsung sensor that doesn't
allow it to be turned off.
